NEW DELHI - Bollywood’s social media accounts are under the radar of an international hacking ring, as just a day after actor Anupam Kher’s twitter account was taken over by hackers, Abhishek Bachchan twitter also became the prey to the hackers, followed by a pro-Pakistani tweet.

Abhishek’s twitter handle was changed to ‘JuniorBachchana’ from ‘JuniorBachchan’ as soon as the hackers took over his account. According to media reports, a Turkish Cyber Army is behind all these hacking incidents.

The Cyber Army then declared through his account that they have also gained unauthorized access of other celebrity’s accounts like ‘Airlift’ actress Nimrat Kaur and Pritish Nandy. This Turkey-based cyber group called ‘Ayyildiz Tim’ has also hacked twitter accounts of Puducherry Governor Kiran Bedi, actor Anupam Kher, BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav and Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta, according to PTI.
